To celebrate the landing of NASA's Curiosity Rover - the Mars Science Laboratory - we'll be running a special live hangout.
In conjunction with @106911959181067745693. We'll have all your favorite space/astronomy journalists on hand to discuss the mission in depth, and celebrate the landing live, when it happens. Join Fraser Cain, @109036978092446954908, @108952536790629690817 and @102887292457967781591 for this special event.
Over the course of this 4-hour Google+ Hangout on Air, we'll interview members of the Curiosity team live in the hangout, as well as other special guests from the @111419948721791453320 and the @108759765804984663877.
@109479143173251353583 and @107051665537162034944 will be on location at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to interview members of the engineering team, and show you what it's like to be at NASA during this amazing moment.
We'll update this event as we lock down more of the guests and participants. See you there! You can follow the hashtag #marshangout
(this will replace our regular Sunday night @100902337165997768522)

In the unfortunate event that this ridiculous and harmful postal plebiscite on marriage equality goes ahead, I urge all of my friends to actively participate, ensure you're enrolled, and vote YES to allow our LGBT citizens and friends the same rights the rest of us have. These guys need us all to send a loud and clear message.

Further, I urge my friends and colleagues in the advertising industry to refuse to participate in any and all campaigns promoting a NO vote.

We have two weeks to check that we are enrolled. Go! Share! And let's shut this bigotry down once and for all and bring Australia into the 21st century.

This is absolutely incredible and surreal. It is not satire. This really happened. It reads like an extreme exaggerated parody but it isn't. This is real life! These psychotic, inept, children are actually part of a government, not in a Judd Apatow movie, but in actual life, on our actual planet.

None of us, even at our most cynical, could ever have possibly predicted this unfathomable shitshow would get so hilariously bad. This is a Rick & Morty episode, but with more absurdity.

THIS IS DESMONDO RAY! Can't wait to show you guys a great little web series, directed by Steve Baker, I've been helping on over the last year as a colourist and VFX artist. It will be released later this week!

In the meantime, here is a trailer. And you will be able to find the excellent short film upon which it was based by searching Desmondo's name. :)

I read the most ludicrous assessment by Harry Entin of fivethirtyeight that claimed Democrats shouldn't primary Joe Manchin in West Virginia. Manchin votes with the republicans 66% of the time! This is a Democrat who actively votes WITH Trump/GOP majority of the time.

His reasoning was that Trump won the general in that state by 44 points, so more conservative Democrats stand the best chance. BULLSHIT. This is why:

Trump won his primary in WV by almost 80 points. That shows that establishment republicans are overwhelmingly disliked there. Bernie won the Democratic primary by 16.5 points, which shows establishment democrats (figureheaded by Hillary) are also enormously unpopular. Manchin is a Hillary democrat.

Between the top two republicans in the primary (Trump and Cruz), there were 175k votes cast.

Between the top two Democrats there were 230k votes cast.

Trump won the general against HILLARY. The clear message is that the people of WV will do anything to avoid an establishment candidate, especially an establishment Dem.

And Entin thinks the establishment Dem is the answer?? Give me a fucken break. Watch Manchin lose the primary and WV become an overwhelming blue state with a progressive populist.

I think what we're seeing is the rapid mental deterioration into senility of a serial liar man-baby in real time. Trump is so encompassed in his own bubble of delusion and paranoia that he doesn't realise what is happening to him and that he needs serious help.

'I support marriage equality and if Labor had supported the plebiscite, marriage equality would be a reality now. The government has no plans to alter the policy,' Mr Pyne said.

Mr Turnbull says the only reason same-sex marriage was not law was because a plebiscite was blocked by Opposition Leader Bill Shorten.

This is both Pyne and Trumble admitting they know the Australian public support marriage equality. They just admitted that if the public voted, we would have it. That ENTIRELY negates the need for a plebiscite, as we've been saying all along, especially when you add the fact that polling officially trusted by government shows the overwhelming majority support it.

They know we want it. There is now ZERO reason to not simply take a parliamentary vote and make it law immediately. Just do it you fucking hypocrites.

And democratizing the economy means challenging the most important fundamental of capitalist economics: the primacy of private ownership. In particular, private ownership of capital, of all the things — the buildings, the machines, the tools, the hardware, and the software — that we use to make other things.___Please elect the man and rock the political world.
